'Two things that never change': Scott Hansen on the All Blacks' style changes from last year

A new era for the All Blacks has started but their first public showing is due this weekend when they face England at Forsyth Barr Stadium in Dunedin.

The regime change is the first in over two decade after the succession of Graham Henry by assistant Steve Hansen, and assistant Ian Foster following Hansen.

Under new head coach Scott Robertson there is an air of excited uncertainty around how the All Blacks will play and how much change there will be.

New assistant coach Scott Hansen kept expectations in check when he was asked, explaining that the fundamentals of Test rugby demand a similar approach.

“We’ll choose our moments around what momentum looks like for us and how we will regain it,” Hansen explained to media on Tuesday.

“Test match footy is going to come down to a number of things and fundamentally it’s going to come down to set piece, our ability to create momentum and apply pressure, that will still be our DNA.

“That is All Black rugby, and you look at our skillset within our game, the ability to play through our forwards, from one to eight and our ability to find space with our backs.

“So we’re excited to see the team come together for the first time.”

Hansen hinted that changes will come throughout the season as new combinations are formed and chemistry is made with a new system.

On whether the difference in style will be obvious or nuanced, the assistant explained that the main objective for the team is to remain decisive.

The team has focused on the main purpose of wearing the black jersey, which is representing the people of New Zealand.

“That’s a good question. We will embrace this Test for what it is, and we will evolve during the year,” he said.

“It’s important for us to be decisive this weekend, so that’s what we should expect to see from our All Blacks this weekend. A decisive team.

“There will be two things that never change, it’s the blackness of the jersey and the silver fern.

“So the expectation around representing our people as a nation is always there for the All Blacks, and the players have made that really clear what they expect of each other.”

“They are excited to do that. So expectations, yes, but the perspective around that can be what about the excitement to perform, and that’s where Razor has taken us.”

'I'm really disappointed': Former All Blacks disagree with Anzac Test outcome

Well obviously NZR is not beholden to revenue then Marshall.


And it simply never was a revenue issue. The AFL and NRL milk the ANZACs deaths and sacrifice for their own personal gain, they did not make their decisions based on “the rugby”, it’s all about taking over the day for the financial benefit. Why would NZR want to be a apart of that? We know RA would, but more than ever they are driven by the bottom line, and not the values that will be the factor in NZRs decision.


So you need to get outside you bubble Tim Horan and think about reality. First, did Australians need something to do on ANZAC day (assuming it was for the weekend celebration day proposal) or have they been brainwashed into disconnecting with their mates and connecting with the TV. What purpose does it provide other than financially essentially? Then ask yourself that same question for the communities out side of that, through Aus and then into NZ and around the pacific, world even.


We don’t need your shortshighted aussie brain calling out NZR thanks.


NZR also doesn’t want to destroy a good thing that is SRs revival amongst wider entertainment enjoyer base, and having a SR break/interruption was a big driver towards fans turning off previously. You’d have to wait at least a few years before they feel comfortable in disrupting that again. Actually having it at the beggining of 2027, World Cup year in Australia, might actually be the most sensible thing (though I actually really like Utiku’s idea). It would both drum up support and get the spotlight on rugby early in the season, helping anticipation/buildup for the big event, and more importantly, give the sides an extra game that year to get things right for a tilt at thge trophy.

Waratahs confirm brutal news for Wallabies star Max Jorgensen

It's a fact: Reddit has always been, is, and will be my source for crypto discussions, security tips, and market trends. Little did I know it would be the same site that helped save me from financial ruin. Some months ago, an AMA thread about Trust Geeks Hack Expert showed up. People asked them anything: from lost wallet recoveries to phishing scams; their answers sounded really detailed, transparent, and full of insight. At the time, I didn't know that their help was near. It all started with what I thought was a routine software update. I had received an e-mail from what looked like a trusted exchange, telling me to install an important patch. The email looked *legit—*matching the branding, formatting, and even the usual tone of messages I had received before. Without a second thought, I downloaded the update and installed it. Biggest mistake of my life. It froze within minutes, and then it automatically restarted. My crypto wallet was empty when I regained access. $200,000-gone. At first, I thought it was some kind of glitch, but as I dug deeper, the cold reality hit me hard: I had been hacked. The "update" was a form of malware designed to drain wallets by injecting malicious code. Panic set in, but rather than spiral, I remembered the Trust Geeks Hack Expert AMA. Their confidence in handling cases like mine had stood out to me. I rushed back to the thread, found their contact details Website https://trustgeekshackexpert.com/-- Email: trustgeekshackexpert{@}fastservice{.}com, and reached out immediately. Their response was prompt and very reassuring. They asked for every little detail I could remember-from the time of the installation of the fake update to the exact nature of the transactions I had done prior to this. They got to work, tracing the movement of my stolen funds using some advanced blockchain forensics.

Days went by, and I had my doubts, but they kept me updated. Then came a message that I was praying for; they had recovered my $200,000. It sounded like a dream come true. All stress, regret, and anger vanished at that moment. Trust Geeks Hack Expert saved not only my funds but also taught me a lesson which will never be forgotten: never trust email links. Now, I double-check every update; use cold storage for large amounts; don't click on anything that's remotely suspicious. If not for that Reddit AMA, I would have never found the only team skilled enough to turn my disaster into a comeback story.
